Berlin Germany 2006-10-02 The 2006 Euro IA Summit theme is ’Building Our Practice’ After the success of last year’s Euro IA Summit, it was obvious we had to organise another one this year. This year we want to look at what it takes to be an IA in Europe. What are the things that we have in common? What are the specifc issues we have to deal with in our country or our business? How can we extend and build the practice of IA in Europe? *Why do we need a European Summit?* For starters, if you live over here, it’s a lot easier to get to Berlin than the U.S. or Canada. Second, when we deal with multi-language applications, we really mean it - there are over 20 national languages within the EU alone. Third, we are doing amazing things with alternative interfaces - phones and pocket computers, for example. Most important of all, we are European, not North American - and we see the world a little differently. 12 Germany Continue to build the practice of information architecture in Europe -- come together and discuss! We welcome euro IAs and other people involved in structuring information for electronic media. 2006-09-30 false http://www.euroia.org/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/12 ia, information architecture, ixd
